What are you bringing to the table other than an idea?

At 10% what do you offer?  Most people can run it in their home and its just not that difficult.

If you are going to put it into a data center, with full redundant power and cooling and all the security bells and whistles, build a web site and pay some employees or contractors, I think you'll find 10% will not be enough unless you rival GHash.IO.

I think there have been some really good attempts at doing what you are looking to do.

CoinTerra has a partner to do this, BFL is offering a good rate at $10/GH for hosted mining, LabRatMinning has tried to offer a good service, ProgressiveMining has also been a good investment. 

NOTE: I do own a few shares of Progressive Mining, I recouped my initial investment in the first two months.  I like their model.

I do agree that there are a lot of sites preying on the consumer who either don't do their homework, or don't know how to do their homework.

If you can make it work, awesome.

Objective: Offer a service to house and maintain customers equipment in return for a 10% share of the BTC mined. There will be the ability to own a fraction of a machine and receive the BTC produced from your share. Customers also receives funds when their equipment is sold when it is no longer profitable to run.

Why?
I am tired of seeing these other cloud hosting sites scamming people into contracts that have negative ROI and think the business model should be changed so that the customers own the equipment as well.

Aren't you late to the game?
As you all know ASIC miners are catching up to modern technology and the difficulty level can not continue to increase by the same level of magnitude so devices purchased in the next coming months will have a longer life span than current devices (3 months). I want to have a lot of preorders so that when the 20nm ASIC miners are announced we can place as many preorders as possible. Once the orders are placed then we can focus on setting up the prepare for the shipment to come in.

How is this different than other cloud miners?

Different business model in which customers don't buy $/GH but rather buy the machines.
The most popular cloud miner (cloudhashing) and a lot of other mining sites offer NEGATIVE ROI (scams)
When it is no longer economically viable to run your machine we will sell it for fair market value and in return receive a commission on the sale.
ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY: company earnings will be posted on a monthly basis in terms of (BTC produced - expenses - company cut) and customers will always be able to withdraw BTC funds daily or have the option to reinvest. Contact us page will include a "Team" section that includes a picture and name of every employee as well as where we are located and how to reach us. After coming into bit coins I have a distaste for shady or scammy companies and transparency and I would like customer service to be high only the priority list for this company.
